Quarterback: TV Idea
An intelligence chief is ranting about his needs. He says we need:
someone who has a fleet mind and lots of muscles….
His subordinates take this as an order and recruit Nickel Hayes, a flawed but talented quarterback with a 3rd-tier team.
Nick becomes a spy for hire, as long as it fits in with his football schedule. Every episode is a different city.
Nick has a model girlfriend, but his female un-model agent helper slowly becomes his best friend 😉
The Chief was forced/tricked/unassumingly made Nick a big budget operative.
Every case is different, because Nick is the big buck $$$ superstar case-solver. Murder, corruption, and so on [Mentalist but gutsier… shhhh]
Nick is ultimately a nice guy with quick wits and athletic skills.
Slowly Nick evolves into an intelligence operative, and slowly he falls for his helper agent.
Meanwhile, he is so pumped by his off-field activities that on-field he is on fire. His team rises and he becomes a celeb…
He is one part Johnny English, one part James Bond, one part [put famous good looking quarterback here, I am not American]
The show offers:
- a variety of USA locations – international in Season 2 when he becomes a kickboxer
- action befitting a fit football star
- morals befitting the ideal football star
- high life lived
- low-life of crimes investigated
- cleverly having Nick involved but never implicated – the key point of difference!
- PATRIOTISM
- an inside look into the training and dedication – too often we see heroes with perfect abs and no explanation of how they developed them. Lets see the hard work for a change…
- Nick’s family is not mentioned. Season 3 could involve a conspiracy to involve him because of X family reason (his Dad went AWOL for example)
A new Hart to Hart, a new Moonlighting, with the glitz of Vegas and the innocence of Joey from Friends.
